I used the ansible method to install Lemmy on a DigitalOcean VPS. They do block port 25 and there is no way around that. I tried to change the port from 25 to 465 in the config.hjson file but still no luck. I am super new to this but I want to get this working so bad. I'm so close! The site is working fine, just no emails. I've checked spam, trash, etc. - nothing is getting sent.

The dev for lemmy-easy-deploy has already said that they do not support SMTP now and will not going forward... So I didn't spend any more time with that.

    I think what they meant by that statement is its not configured to setup postfix as an email server. When you edit the config file (prior to runnig the docker command to build it) youre setting lemmy up to use an external email service.
